Resealing in Westerwood: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Common problems we fix in Westerwood
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Look out for any of the following:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Stained silicone
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A flexing bath

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
How we price bath resealing
There’s no area surcharge for Westerwood. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Westerwood questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do you cover the whole of North Lanarkshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Westerwood and the rest of North Lanarkshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
